Summary

Description Fahua Temple, located in Datong’s ancient city on Heyang Street, is a historic Buddhist temple originally built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and reconstructed between 2008 and 2010. Renowned for its unique Tibetan-style white Fahua Pagoda, a Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) glazed brick structure housing the Lotus Sutra, the temple features a traditional courtyard layout with vibrant frescoes, the Hall of Heavenly Kings, Mahavira Hall, and a Buddhist Texts Library. Its serene atmosphere and intricate architecture make it a notable cultural landmark, though it attracts fewer tourists than other Datong sites.
